Delayed Onset Bilateral Vocal Cord Palsy in Miller Fisher Syndrome: The Rehabilitation Outcome.

Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS) typically presents with acute development of ataxia, ophthalmoplegia, and areflexia. Bilateral vocal cord palsy (BVCP) is a rare manifestation of MFS. We present a case of a 66-year-old male diagnosed with MFS complicated by an unusually delayed onset of BVCP while undergoing inpatient rehabilitation.

A Case Report of Becker Muscular Dystrophy and Stroke Who Successfully Regained Mobility With Robot-Assisted Gait Training.

A 30-yr-old patient with Becker muscular dystrophy presented with stroke. Background issues of proximal weakness, dilated cardiomyopathy, and reduced endurance challenged the usual goal-setting and formulation of a stroke rehabilitation plan. We discuss the holistic rehabilitation program that this patient underwent, with a focus on the utilization of robot-assisted gait training that eventually led him to successfully regain mobility.
